Repair steps

1

Confirm the battery charge

Connect the original charger and verify its indicator behaves normally. Allow at least 15 minutes if the battery may be deeply discharged.

Do not use an unapproved charger.
2

Reseat the battery

Switch everything off, unlock the battery, remove it, inspect the contacts, and firmly reinstall it until it clicks.

Keep metal objects away from the contacts.
3

Release safety interlocks

Raise the side stand and squeeze then fully release both brake levers. Check that neither lever is stuck.

Support the bike securely.
4

Inspect the main connection

Look for an obviously loose, wet, or damaged cable near the battery mount. Reconnect only matching, undamaged plugs.

Do not force keyed connectors.
5

Power on correctly

Hold the display power button for two seconds. If it remains dark after a known-good charge, stop and seek service.
